Water resources are an important issue worldwide and play a fundamental role in the ecosystem. Water is a strategic economic resource that can bring systemic and long-term stability to the national economy and social development. In recent years, water shortages in many Iranian cities have become a significant problem that may threaten Iran's sustainable economic development. However, despite the importance of water, it has so far been neglected in the analysis of economic growth in the provinces of Iran. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to investigate the role of water in economic growth and, at the same time, the role of economic growth in water usage in the provinces of Iran, considering the importance of water resources in the country's economic growth. For this purpose, data from 28 provinces of the country during the period 2006 to 2018 and simultaneous equation system has been used. The results of the study indicate that GDP also has a significant and positive impact on water consumption. It should be noted that the Kuznets Environmental Curve, which examines the relationship between growth and water consumption in 28 provinces of Iran during the study period, has not been confirmed.
